In 1980, Taurus purchased the Beretta factory in Sao Paulo, Brazil "lock, stock and barrel" and immediately sought to improve on the Beretta design, resulting in the popular and acclaimed Taurus 92 and 99 9mm pistols.

It is a model 99 (92 with adjustable sights), it has the decocking lever within easy reach of my thumb,


This is my Taurus PT99 from 1987.. over 3000 rnds and never a problem

i've never seen any improvement between the beretta and the taurus 92. i just see differences, none better, none worse (except for the weight)

weight diff is minimal, is it like 2oz ?
To be honest with ya, when I got this gun it was a bang for buck thing( I was 20) Today I would get the Beretta made in Italy... not that there is anything wrong with Taurus.

the weight issue is minimal but it is still there. i've always said that you only have to be just 1 second faster than the other guy. and that 2 oz, no matter how little it seems, could make all the difference one day

I meant reflex sights. It was late and I'm stupid.
